May I suggest that the config-db be maintained as a "config-tree," with
the root at /leaf-cdb (or something shallow like that) and keys may be
nested as deeply as needed by creating directory levels.  I.e. you could
make the key

interfaces/eth0/ipaddr

like this:

echo -n "172.24.8.24" > /leaf-cdb/interfaces/eth0/ipaddr


I also like the idea of a config-tree, Chad.  It's proven
itself useful for Linux a la /proc.


I wish the config-tree api to have significant lattitude in how
it displays the data:


  a) Something along the lines of a -H argument the way "who -Hu"
     prints out column headers.
  b) The ability to dump var=value pairs to stdout.



Would you like to remark any furthur on how a tree is significantly
better than a single config-db file and how the tree would store a
variable's "type" information, for instance?

Matt.
